The answer is simple: I can not resist! Although this recipe is meant for 4 people, we hardly manage to get to the day after such a delight (um … we are only two). Maybe it’s because that I like very much the leeks in any recipe…

Enough, less greetings and more recipe!

Ingredients for 4 servings (if you can: P)

1 large or 2 small leeks (usually are huge!);

Extra virgin olive oil to taste;

1 rolled-out of puff pastry, ready for use (Ladies and gentlemen, it is too difficult for me to do at home by myself: too long the process and the result is not guaranteed. So, better to buy it ready to use.);

2 eggs;

50g (3.5 tbsp) grated Parmesan cheese;

3 tablespoons of milk;

70g (2.5 oz) of Gruyere cheese or Leerdamer (or similar cheese);

salt to taste;

pepper to taste;

1 pinch with grated nutmeg.

Instructions:

1- Preheat the oven to 190 ° / 200 ° C (390 ° F).2- Place the pastry on a round baking tray covered with baking paper. Prick with a fork the pastry so to avoid creating air bubbles during the cooking.3- Sauté the leeks, previously cut in thin slices, in the oil, until they become golden brown. Add some salt and pepper to taste.4- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, adding milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and Parmesan cheese.5- Finally, add the leeks and cheese Leerdamer (or whatever) to the mixture of eggs. Mix lightly and pour it slowly into the pan on the pastry.6- With the surplus edge of pastry you can decorate the pie the way you want. In this precise case, I have left as it was. But the possibilities are many: you can create strips as those for jam tarts or make a nice thick border. The choice is up to you 🙂7- Bake for about 15-20 minutes but keep an eye on the oven. The edges of the pastry should be golden and crisp!
And here’s your pie! Enjoy it!

Buon appetito!

For those dear readers who do not know the puff pastry, here to help wikipedia. But I warn you I do not want any responsibility: it is a veeery fat pastry 😉
